“I hear the Ice man proposed to
you?”
"He did.”
"And you aocepted him, of course?"
“I did not.”

"Ah! That Is better. A man of

Beyond doubt you told him ‘yes!’"
"No. father.”
“Wha-a-s-t? Do you mean to tell
me you let so golden an opportunity

KEEP & BOTTLE HIMY ILL THE TIME
Austin, Texas.—The house was
called to order by Mr. Wortham at
12:08 p. m. “I have faced a six-shooter
and courted a woman and been refus-
ed, but I never felt myself more une-
qual to an occasion than nc.w,” he oatd
pleasantly as he brought down the
gavel—a big newel off one of the
posts of the speaker’s platform.
Chester H. Terrell of San Antonio
was elected speaker ot the Thirty-third
house by a vote of 87, to 61 for W. C.
McKamy of Dallaa and one for J. C.
Hunt of Randall county. The election
waa held by the method which has pre-
vailed at previous sessions—each m«m-
ber dropping In a hat a slip of paper
upon which has been written the name
of hit choice for speaker—and the
resolution presented by Mr. Rowell
and others, as agreed upon at the Mc-
Kamy-Rowell caucus demanding a roll
call ballot, In which each member
would be put on record, was tabled
76 ayes ,to 65 noes.
A prolonged debate upon the demand
for this record vote had been antici-
pated, but as soon as the resolution
was offered R. B. Humphrey moved to
table, and discussion thereof was not
forthcoming. However, quite a suffi-
ciency of oratory found vent In the
presentation of the names of the two
candidates for speaker. Secretary of
State John L. Wortham, presiding In
the chair pending the election of apeak-
er and organization of the house, ruled.
In response to a suggestion of a limit
upon seconding speeohes, that the
members of the houso could talk
much as they wanted to,” which op-
portunity by no means was wasted.
Judge Rowell, floor leader sgleqted
at the McKamy or progressive caucus,
protested against the secretary of
Btate's promulgating the rules of the
Thirty-second legislature as the tern
porary rules of the house, and^ like-
wise made formal challenge of the
right to a seat In the house of A. M.
Kennedy, who was elected representa-
tive from Kerr county. Each of these
objection upon the part of Judge Row-
ell occaslored some flurry. Mr. Wor-
tham. agreeing with Judge Rowell as
to the rules, withdrew his announce-
ment No action was taken as to the
protest concerning Mr. Kennedy.
As to the protest against Mr. Ken-
nedy’s seat. Judge Rowell made em-
phatic statement that he brought that
challenge not from his personal knowl-
edge, but upon the representations of
men who sa'd they could prove their
statement that Mr. Kennedy had not
lived In Kerr county the length of
time necessary to make him elig.ble
under the law as a representative from
that district.
After Mr. Terrell was elected speak-
er and the members assigned to their
seats in the customary manner tne
with other officers not elected and per-
manent organization Incomplete.
Electing a full corps of officers and
employee, hearing the contest of J. c;
Adams from the Fourteenth senatorial
district and debating a motion to have
the senate elect Its own committees
instead of permitting them to be ap-
pointed by the lieutenant governor, the
senate spent a busy day.

In agricultural matters, with president
at tbe Farmers’ congress as an ax of-
ficio SMEiher, this board to displace
all other existing boa-ds having con-
trol of the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal college, experimental stations and
other departments having to do wlfh

state. This resolution secured an al-
most unanimous Indorsement.

ceived the unanimous Indorsement of
the association, calling upon the leg-
islature to re-enact the law appropriat-
ing funds from the general revenue to

When a woman suffering from some form of feminine
disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it o( course
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital operating table and the
surgeon’3 knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands o£
women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. This fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their
Fear for Safety of Bteamahlp.
Galveiton, Texas.—Fears are enter-

consigned for delivery to Texas rail-
roads. She was last heard from as she
pasted Hatteras Jan. 3. She la now

Fort Worth, Texas.—Approximately

farming Industry. The attendance was
much lsrger thsn was expected, and
some trouble was had In finding a con-
vention hall that would prove adequate
for the crowd. The convention waa
given to a general discussion of the
farmers’ needs.
